Location Rochester Hills, Michigan, United States
Introduction I am 18 and I just graduated from high school (WIN!). I am going to be starting school for dog training in the next month through Animal Behavior College. I love animals. I love giving back in whatever way I can, and truly believe that when it comes to volunteering, you truly get back much more than what you gave. I volunteer with For Better Independence Assistance Dogs. Quincy is my demo dog and we show people what service dogs can do for people. I also volunteer with Teacher's Pet, an organization that places shelter dogs with at-risk youth and those in juvenile centers to make the dogs more adoptable and to maybe change the kids life, too. In May of '07, I was diagnosed with an incurable, but treatable, rare cancer called adenoid cystic carcinoma. Cancer definitely turned my world upside down, but while life may be tough, I'm tougher. I received a beautiful Nikon for my 17th birthday from some of my doggie friends. Since then I have been busy taking zillions of pictures. Life is good.
Interests Dog training, volunteering with Teacher's Pet, competing and training in dock diving, flyball, and agility. Reading, hiking, listening to music, traveling, learning, and being a nerdfighter.
